Transcript requests

 A transcript is a copy of your permanent academic record and includes all courses taken at Durham College, years of attendance, program, type of credential awarded and your cumulative grade point average (GPA).

Please note: All academic history is displayed on your transcript.

Official transcripts are stamped with the Durham College seal and issued through MyCreds. Most educational institutions and employers require an official transcript.

An unofficial transcript is accessible via MyDC and students are able to print them.  Please note the unofficial transcript does not bear the Durham College seal.

We recommend you check with your requestor to determine if you require an official or unofficial transcript.

There are three simple steps to request, pay and share your official transcripts:

1. Request your transcript by logging into your MyDC account and selecting “Request Transcript”.
2. Once you are notified, follow the link you receive from MyCreds via your preferred email address to create your account and/or log in.
3. Pay for your credits and share your official transcript.

Calculating GPA

As per policy statement 2.5 Program Grade Point Average (PGPA) in the Graduation Policy, you can calculate your GPA by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of credit hours for the courses taken.

Based on this, you will first need to determine your quality points. Quality points are listed along with final grades in your MyCampus or you can calculate using the following instructions:

Calculating Quality Points To calculate quality points for a course, you will multiply the grade point associated with the numeric grade range (as demonstrated in the chart below) by the number of credit hours in the course.

For example, if you earned an 80% (identified as a 4.0 in the chart below) in a 3.0-credit hour course, you would have earned 12.0 quality points (4.0 grade points x 3.0 credits).

Grade Points are listed in the Academic Grading Policy.

Once you have your quality points you can calculate your GPA.

Please see the following chart with an example of a GPA calculation:

When we divide 82.5 (total quality points) by 18.0 (total credit hours), we get a GPA of 4.58.

If you calculated the average using your final grades alone (85+75+90+88+94 = 432, divided by 5 courses) you would have received an average grade of 86.4% (which translates in the grade point chart to a 4.5 GPA). While these numbers are close, an average does not factor in the different weighting of courses (placing more GPA value on a 5.0-credit course than a 3.0-credit course). As a result, the 4.5 GPA is not the accurate GPA calculation.

Grade Designations with Numeric Value – Post- Secondary Programs
